3.4. Seeds file format


Content

A valid seeds file contains the following [optional] information
  • a list of positions and
    • crystal orientations and/or
    • microstructure indices
  • [number of seed points]
  • [size of periodic box]
  • [origin of periodic box]
  • [minimum grid resolution to guarantee realization of all seed points upon Voronoi tessellation]
  • [seed value of random number generator]

Coordinates

The seed coordinates correspond to fractional positions within the dimensions of the periodic box. Therefore, it is sensible to restrict the coordinates to the range between 0 and 1.

Seed property

Each seed point can specify the following two information.
Bunge (z-x-z) Euler angles
By using the column headings 1_Euler, 2_Euler, and 3_Euler the Euler angles (in degrees) characterizing the crystal orientation of the corresponding seed point are determined.
Microstructure index
Data given under the column heading microstructure is used to override the consecutive assignment of numerical IDs for the seed points. Overriding the standard behavior might be useful if a material.config file corresponding to a certain order of seed points is already existing.

Examples

Crystal orientations

An exemplary seeds file containing
  • 20 points
  • minimum grid resolution of 16 x 16 x 16
and specifying the crystal orientation for each seed point would read:
4   header
grid   a 16   b 16   c 16
microstructures   20
randomSeed   0

Microstructure indices

An exemplary seeds file containing
  • 4 points
  • suggested domain size of 2 x 1 x 0.5
  • suggested origin of domain at 1 : 1 : 0.5
with deliberately assigned microstructure indices would read:
3   header
size   x 2.0   y 1.0   z 0.5
origin   x 1.0   y 1.0   z 0.5
1_pos   2_pos   3_pos   microstructure
